I have access to a paid off and fully functional 26ft box truck that is currently sitting on my in-laws land not being used. They have decided to focus on vehicle transport using another truck they own and have asked if I would be interested in using the truck or know anyone interested in purchasing the truck (which I don’t).

I see online the potential money to be made in starting a box truck business especially with not having to lease or financing a truck starting out and may take it off their hands, however I have no experience in courier, trucking, or transportation.

What are some learning resources I can use to learn about the industry, particularly how to find local work starting out, and figure out whether or not I am ready to get started?

I jus recently got my class A cdl license and want yo buy a box truck company, Non cdl truck and my own company will I still be aloud to smoke weed on my free time? Since it’s a non cdl box truck and it’s my own company?

Now my box trucks rolling 3500 miles weekly, because I want minimu 5k gross, my dispatch said if I want 5k gross truck must roll like a lot of miles. Can you please advise is there any local or short mile loads with good gross?

Ever since I filed for my DoT and MC # the scammers and hawks have been calling me,texting and emailing me constantly. One scammer almost got me until he told me I’d have to make a deposit for a dedicated lane . Lmaooooo man be careful out there in the vulture world of trucking
